Answer:

HOCH2CH2CH2OH.

Step-by-step explanation:

HOCH2CH2CH2OH is more soluble in water than CH3CH2CH2OH because propandiol have two alcoholic group attached to it hence, it can form more efficient hydrogen bonding with water whereas the hydrogen bonding in CH3CH2CH2OH would be less prominent as it has only one alcoholic group.
